Slides

Slides are the fundamental parts within a presentation. The best way to think of a slide is a container for all data that is to be on that slide. The specific shapes, images, and relations within a slide will not come into play here.

Chart Rendering Properties

The DrawingML charts rendered by ImageGear and rendered by MS Office may have visual differences, because OpenXML specification does not contain rendering details for some chart elements. These differences include the relative positions of chart elements such as: title, axes, axes ticks, labels, legend, order of series in a legend, number of major and minor gridlines, and number of labels per axis. Also, combined charts axes maximum and minimum values (chart scaling) may differ from MS Office; as a result, the combined charts (relative positions of chart data series) rendered by ImageGear in the same plot area may visually differ from MS Office rendering. These differences do not have strict definition in OpenXML specification, and their rendering details are left up to the implementers.

Property dialogs of PPTX Charts have various customization settings. For those properties there are a few limitations in ImageGear that should be considered. Please note that only the supported properties/features are listed below; features not listed are not currently supported.
